Cefndir / Background This report provides the opportunity to present items to the Board to demonstrate areas of work that are being progressed and achievements that are being made, which may not be subject to prior consideration by a Committee of the Board, or may not be directly reported to the Board through Board reports. Asesiad / Assessment (1) Register of Sealings The UHB’s Common Seal has been applied to legal documents and a record of the sealing of these documents has been entered into the Register kept for this purpose. The entries at Appendix A have been signed by the Chair and Chief Executive or the Deputy Chief Executive (in the absence of the Chief Executive) on behalf of the Board (Section 8 of the UHB’s Standing Orders refers). (2) Consultations The UHB receives consultation documents from a number of external organisations. It is important that the UHB considers the impact of the proposals contained within these consultations against its own strategic plans, and ensures that an appropriate corporate response is provided to highlight any issues, which could potentially impact upon the Page 1 of 4 1/4 1 / 8 / 8 organisation. A status report for Consultation Documents received and responded to is detailed at Appendix B, should any Board Member wish to contribute. (3)Strategic and Operational Issues Major Incident Plan The UHB’s Major Incident Plan has been reviewed through a COVID-19 lens and amended to reflect the last 15 months by summary appendices that highlight acute site COVID-19 arrangements. A paper will be presented to the People, Planning and Performance Assurance Committee in June 2021, with a view to considering it at the next Board meeting in July 2021. A full review of the Major Incident Plan will be undertaken over the next 12 months to reflect changes in Emergency Preparedness, Resilience and Response (EPPR), such as the Major Trauma Centre provision and associated major incident casualty flows, and the site changes and lessons identified from the pandemic response. (4) National Issues Senedd Elections 2021 There are 14 politicians in the Hywel Dda UHB area: nine Members of the Senedd (MSs) and five Members of Parliament (MPs). The Chair, Chief Executive and Medical Director met with all politicians on Friday 14th May 2021, and will continue to meet with them on a monthly basis.

  • Public Perceptions of Basic Income in the West Midlands 'Red Wall'
    Public Perceptions of Basic Income in the West Midlands 'Red Wall' Alex de Ruyter and David Hearne Foreword By Michael Pugh, Director, Basic Income Conversation We at the Basic Income Conversation want to see a basic income happen.. We blend organising, advocacy and research to promote basic income in the UK and fundamentally we think the best way to get people talking about this big idea is through conversation - hence our name. The conversation about basic income is spreading at a rapid pace. Even before the pandemic there was growing interest in the idea but that has grown considerably in the last 12 months as the pandemic forces us to face up to the realities of the changing labour market and inadequate social security system. However, as conversations spread, it’s increasingly important to focus on how we have those conversations. How we talk about this big idea is vitally important. Are there certain phrases or stories of ways of talking about basic income that make people more or less interested? Are we framing the idea with the right language? Have we got the right narrative? If we can understand public perceptions better, it will help advocates and politicians better craft their conversation and campaign messages. This study carried out by the team at the Centre for Brexit Studies, in collaboration with us at the Basic Income Conversation, helps us begin to understand these questions. We wanted to test basic income in areas of electoral significance. The report makes reference to so- called Red Wall voters. In some ways it’s quite a frustrating term but it’s been used to describe the constituencies that were long held Labour seats until the Conservatives won them in 2017 and particularly 2019.

  • The 2015 Election in Wales Was the Failure of Labour’S Much-Vaunted Ground Campaign
    The 2015 General Election in Wales Roger Scully Wales Governance Centre Cardiff University [email protected]; @roger_scully http://blogs.cf.ac.uk/electionsinwales/ Abstract This paper examines the 2015 UK general election in Wales. It first outlines the political background to the election, before going on to assess the content and conduct of the campaign and the parties’ relative success in targeting their campaigning efforts. The results are then examined in detail: these show that while Labour, for the twentieth successive general election in Wales, won the most votes and a majority of seats, it also suffered an unexpected net loss of seats; meanwhile the Conservatives won more seats in Wales than at any election since the heyday of Thatcherism. UKIP confirmed their arrival as a serious element of party politics in Wales, but the Liberal Democrats lost more than two-thirds of their 2010 vote. British Election Study data is then used to model the main factors shaping patterns of party support. Finally, the conclusion assesses the implications of the 2105 election for the future of party politics in Wales, and for the 2016 National Assembly for Wales election. Paper presented to the Annual Conference of the Political Studies Association specialist group on Elections, Public Opinion and Parties, Cardiff, September 2015. 1. Introduction The 2015 general election in Wales was, on the surface, a rather undramatic event. In sharp contrast to Scotland, most parties experienced only small changes in vote share from 2010, while only four of the forty Welsh seats actually changed hands. But while inevitably less dramatic than events in Scotland, the election in Wales still had plenty of interest.
